The draw for the fifth round of the English FA Cup has been made and features a potential heavyweight clash between Liverpool and Chelsea
Meanwhile, Wayne Rooney could be set for a sensational reunion with his former team Manchester United if he is able to guide Derby County past a rematch with Northampton Town.
Defending champions, Manchester City will face a trip to Championship side, Sheffield Wednesday, while Norwich City have set up an all-Premier League tie against the winners of Southampton and Tottenham's replay.

Fixtures will take place between March 3 and 5, with winners in line to take home £360,000 ($470,000) in prize money from the FA Prize Fund.
For the first time, the round will be played in midweek following the introduction of the mid-season break, with no replays in the instance of a draw.
If sides are level, then the typical route of extra-time, followed by penalties, will decide a victor.
For the third year in a row, the last 16 could feature representation from all four flights of the English Football League too, with League Two side Northampton still in the mix after they forced a replay against Championship outfit Derby.
The lowest-ranked team who will definitely be playing are League One play-off chasers Portsmouth, who have been rewarded with a clash against Arsenal following their 4-2 triumph over Barnsley.
